Writing
History, economics, and philosophy have long been one of my key subjects of interest. I’ve done extensive research on a variety of topics, and have taken up writing in order to extend my knowledge of these humanities subjects. My most notable essay was an entry to the 2023 Fraser Institute Student Essay Contest, which won me 5th place out of approximately a thousand contestants; in the essay, I discussed the high inflation in Canada caused by the coronavirus, as well as errors in the Bank of Canada’s responsive monetary policy. I’ve also written numerous other essays on subjects ranging from Nietzschean philosophy to Cold War history.
Below, I've included two academic essays, including the one from the Fraser Institute contest.
